Zia Lucia is a much-loved neighbourhood pizzeria serving up proper Italian pizza with a relaxed, welcoming vibe.

The name means “Auntie Lucia”, inspired by Gianluca’s aunt in Rome, who was known for bringing people together over great food and warm hospitality. Founded by Italian friends Claudio and Gianluca, that same spirit still sits at the heart of every Zia Lucia restaurant.

Over the years, Zia Lucia has picked up a few pretty amazing awards too — including being voted Best Local Restaurant by Time Out (in both Islington and Hammersmith), featured in Where Chefs Eat, and awarded Best Pizza in London by Metro’s The Slice, plus was ranked 30th Best Pizza in the World (2025), 33rd Best Pizza in the World (2024) by 50 Top Pizza, 38th Best Pizza in the World (2023) by 50 Top Pizza.
